Pattern Proposal: Architecture Intent Document Completeness
Summary
Require Architecture Intent Documents to contain concrete strategic vision, focus areas, principles, current-state alignment, and roadmap before they are used as evaluation input for alignment and evolution mapping.
Candidate Pattern
- ID:
pattern-architecture-intent-completeness - Classification: governance
- Maturity: emerging
- Type: emerging
Observed Signals
- AID placeholder content
- Missing focus areas and roadmap
Evidence
Architecture Work
Supporting Evidence
Scope Assessment
- Evidence Strength: high
- Confidence: high
- Applies to: governance, contracts, intelligence
Rationale
- AID is a central artifact for assessing alignment but currently contains only placeholder text, making architectural intent ambiguous.
- Without explicit focus areas and roadmap, it is impossible to verify that proposed work aligns with strategic direction.
